His 1997 follow-up record, BIG STYLE, spawned another Best Five strike in “THE OTHERS of Mine,” and “Lonely Won’t Keep Me By itself” just skipped the very best Ten. Nevertheless, it wasn’t quite the industrial powerhouse of Dreamin’ ALOUD; neither was its follow-up, 1999’s Even more, which featured just one single Top Ten solitary in the name track. non-etheless, all three albums produced the country TOP.
